" Such a fantastic experience for our kids! They absolutely loved walking around the property capturing beautiful shots of nature or whatever interested them while learning about the basics of photography. We hung up the Polaroid photos in our room and got to enjoy the images during our stay. So cute! Lots of thanks to Laura for organizing such a very memorable event. Also-The house made (in house) snacks were delicious! "
